A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Print the one-page sheet and model its examples. There is no fixed key; home arrangements and personal preferences vary.
- Mime turning a light on, sitting down and coming in. Compare the actions with leaving home and staying there.
- Take turns asking the eight questions, giving short answers about devices, evenings and bedtime. Use a fictional household if preferred.
- Describe an evening sequence using several phrases. Check the distinction between going to bed and simply sitting down or staying at home.
Support and extension
Offer a picture or action list for support. Extend with a short weekday routine, without assuming everyone has the same devices or shares household work.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
